KEYNOTE: The definitive book for the collector of mechanical
wristwatches, with complete information--including prices--on over
1,400 models made by more than 120 international brands. Following
the success of last year?s book, this twelfth edition of what has
become a watch industry classic features over 1,400 of the world?s
most luxurious wristwatches and provides color photographs and
complete specifications for each watch. With Wristwatch Annual
2011, collectors have a wealth of information close at hand: the
book is arranged alphabetically by producer, and within each
producer?s section are specifications and materials for each watch,
including price, movement, special features, complications, case,
dial, band, and available variations of a particular model. A
glossary and pronunciation guide help acclimate the reader to the
world of fine timepieces, and, for prospective buyers, the
addresses of all featured producers are listed together. The
elegant photography and layout will encourage people to peruse the
year?s offerings for aesthetic appeal as well. The range of styles,
from classic to modern, reflects the inclusive nature of this book,
which watch collectors around the world will find both a handy
reference and required reading. Featured Manufacturers: Alpina;
